Isotonik Studios has announced the release of Circuit Editor PRO, an editor software for the Circuit grid-based groove box by Novation.

It’s been over a year since we visited Novations headquarters to be first introduced to the Circuit in their development room, this little beast of a Groovebox has gone from strength to strength in the past twelve months growing an avid legion of new fans who have helped the development of the instrument through the Facebook Circuit Owners Group…

We’ve seen Novation get involved in this group of fans to their credit and it was an honour to be chosen to develop and supply the official Novation Circuit Editor! Now that Novation have released the fourth firmware update, we felt it was time to do the same with our Editor. And so after a few hundred hours more of development time we’re delighted to be able to release the Circuit Editor PRO!

Rebuilt from the ground up we’ve massively improved response times and allowed automation of both synths through Ableton Live via the MaxforLive version. In working with the new Editor Engine we’ve been able to incorporate the top user requests that we’ve been collating as well!

Circuit Editor PRO features

Copy / Paste for the Macro Elements.

Added Drum Control.

An intelligent Randomiser Function.

Improved Patch Management functionality. Users can now load numbered patches from a folder, or get all of the patches from the Circuit with one click.

Last month we released our first set of Patch Banks through our Circuit Patch store, the response was phenomenal and exceeded everyones expectations. Rather than sit on our laurels we wanted to release a new set of packs to coincide with the Circuit Editor PRO launch and so we’re proud to bring on board a new set of Isotonik Circuit Artists & their Patch Banks to include:

My Panda Shall Fly – Brutal Cacophony

Tom Cosm – Naughty & Nice

Lightfinger – Volume ONE

Emynona – Mind Travellers

Each artists unique approach to the Circuit shines through in their patches, taking hours of work to create and refine you can see a demo for each pack within the links above.
